Pao-Pao awards

The Pao-Pao awards.

So several people mentioned that I should do a poll for the worst of the worst in Eldest. Which I shall, because I'm lazy and don't particularly feel like working. But I'd like some nominations for:

Most Ironic Line

Most character growth in any direction

Most WTF moment

Most Deus Ex Machina moment

Most idiotic moment

Most Why God Why moment

I can't believe Paolini actually did, said, wrote that moment.

Eragon's most idiotic moment

Character that should just DIE (besides Eragon)

Other category nominations are also welcome.

Deus Ex Machina means something like God of the machine (from machine? something like that). It means a magical solution for a plot hole. Or for the plot itself. Like Saphira´s magic, the potion that can do wathever Paolini needs it... in short, it´s a sheap trick.

(There´s a whole wiki article, if you feel like researching about the origin of the expression. It´s fun ^_^)

Oh, okay. Thanks!

So practically the entire book.

Eragon becoming an elf would be a biggy.
